a coincidence that the FREE Press is

siderable interest is felt mere in tae

pany. A great many communications
have been received in regard to stock
In said company. Sock will he sold
at 33l cents on the dollar. Non as
sessable; no further calls or assess-
ments 10 be made on the stock. Said
company can sell 100 lots at the close
price Of $40 per front foot, and realize
sufficient amount to leave the entire
remainder Of their properties as sur.
plus for division among the stock
holders. OF thess 100 lots, there are
two blocks lying adjacent to the Union
Depot which will sell readily at $i00
per front foot. This Is less in proportion
than has been offered for property
similarly situated on the opposite side
of the railroad. The great merit Of
this company will be that immediate
ly upon the commencement of the
sale OF lots, the proceeds will be d.
vided among the stockholders as divi.
dends. OF the properties OF this com
pany as blocked and laid of by the
city, there are $500 front feet, which.
at $40 per front foot, will briBg $780,.
coo. Besides thia there,aIe 10000 front
feet lying just outside Of and adjoin-
Jog tho corporation of Decatur, be.
tween the Louisville and Nashville
and the Memphis and Charleston rail.
roads, which at $40 per front foot, will
bring 100000. In addition to this
the company has thirty-four acres
within three.q quarter miles OF the
river bridge. II these calculations are
anything like correct, there IL no Tea-
son why this stock should not be worth
three for one. Messrs. Humes, Eek
ford, Taliaierro and Smithson, oil the
corporators, are here, having the
property laid Off and mapped, and
books prepared for subscription
by next Thursday, February Sd. A
large amount of the stock has been

back adversely the resolution calling

The House then went into Commit

After slight amendment the bill was
reported to the House and passed.
The House then went into Commit
tee OF the Whole, Mr. Springer I'll. in
the Chair, on the bill to consolidate
certain bureaus of the Navy Depart
ment.
Mr.. Herbert (Ala.) explained that
the chief object of the bill was to con-
solidste under one head the bureaus
concerned in the building and equip
ping OF chips. AS an instance OF the
abuses which existed under the pres
ent system he stated that the con-
struction of the New York, wooden
vessel, was begun in 1864, and the last
stroke OF work done upon her was in
1868. For thirteen years she lay upon
the stocks in Brooklyn, and then, in
1881, the Bureau of Steam Engineer
ing built boilers for her, which re-
manned today in the Washington yard.
Under the pending bill one man
would be responsible for construction
and engineering, aud he would not
start thirteen years after work had
bsen stopped upon vessel to make
the boilers for her. II he did he
would deserve to be court martialed.
The committee rose and the House
